Warehouses and distribution centers are one of the most critical
inflection points in an increasingly complex global supply chain.
Enhanced productivity, worker safety and business growth all can be
realized through mobile technology by automating, enhancing and
streamlining processes.

At ProMat 2013, visit Motorola’s warehouse environment to experience the
next generation of vehicle-mounted
computers on a forklift, discover the possibilities of mobile
technology such as head-mounted computers, and experience the
best-in-class industrial wireless networks to improve your operations.

Motorola Solutions and Psion, now
a part of Motorola Solutions, also are announcing two new products
at the show: the AP
6562, a dual radio 802.11n access point in an IP67 outdoor-rated
housing, and the Omnii™
XT15ni, a rugged handheld device designed specifically for operation
in hazardous conditions. Both products will be demonstrated during
ProMat at Chicago’s McCormick Place, Jan. 21-24 at booth #4576.

KEY FACTS

AP 6562

The AP 6562 delivers a cost-effective means of supporting the most
demanding wireless applications and large numbers of wireless devices.

Distribution centers and transportation and logistics yards that need
to maintain business continuity from the warehouse to the truck can
benefit from the AP 6562’s ability to seamlessly extend the internal
Wi-Fi network and deliver the bandwidth to run complex applications.

MeshConnex™ technology enables fast routing for higher data rates and
a better user experience in high bandwidth applications like video and
reliable connectivity for automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), even at
high speeds as they move within a warehouse, distribution center,
industrial plant or yard.

The AP 6562 offers flexible options for mounting, with both internal
and external antenna versions in an aesthetic design built for
outdoors, providing reliable performance in demanding weather
conditions and indoors in cold storage units.

The AP 6562’s second radio improves versatility, allowing IT
departments to provide Wi-Fi access or serve as a dedicated wireless
sensor that scans both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands for network assurance and
security.

Omnii XT15ni

Psion
today announced the Omnii XT15ni, the latest addition to its line of
Omnii rugged handhelds, which allows users in harsh environments the
specific usability they require to improve productivity.

Designed particularly for operation in hazardous conditions due to
potential flammability, the Omnii XT15ni is non-incendive-certified
for safe operation in industries including pharmaceuticals, oil and
gas, utilities, chemical and other manufacturing applications.

Certified by UL Laboratories to Class I Division 2 safety
specification, the Omnii XT15ni is compatible with the same charging
and vehicle cradle accessories as the standard Omnii XT15.

The device is modular, easily upgradable at a Psion repair center and
available with unique markings to safely identify the right product
for the right job in dangerous environments.

A variety of features are available for the XT15ni including imagers,
a push-to-talk speaker, camera, WAN radio and three keyboard options.

The Omnii XT15ni maintains the backward compatibility with Psion’s
Omnii family of products, providing customers with a common platform
across their user bases.

Imran Akbar, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Networks
& Communications, Motorola Solutions“Outdoor access to
Wi-Fi networks is increasingly important to outdoor yards at
distribution centers. Our customers can now deliver seamless indoor and
outdoor WLAN services through the AP 6562. Deploying outdoor coverage
with superior performance is no longer a cost-prohibitive proposition.”

Joe White, senior director, product management, Enterprise Mobile
Computing, Motorola Solutions“The Omnii has quickly become the
most popular line in the Psion product portfolio because its
industry-leading design makes it adaptable to almost any environment,
and this flexibility helps customers reduce their total cost of
ownership. The introduction of the Omnii XT15ni is a testament to our
continued investment in the Psion line of products.”
